About Me

I am a recently graduated senior from Yale University, where I majored in Physics (Intensive) and Computer Science. I am broadly interested in exoplanets, with a focus on exoplanet dynamics and substellar atmospheres. I have researched double hot Jupiter formation through von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai migration in binary star systems and the atmospheres of directly imaged gas giants and brown dwarfs though atmospheric retrievals. I am currently working secular chaos induced high-eccentricity tidal migration in "3+1" quadruple systems. See more in the research section.

Beyond astrophysics research, I've designed my computer science major around computer graphics and game engines. I'm interested in coding creative projects that bridge science and storytelling.

I will begin my graduate studies in astrophysics at Princeton University in Fall 2026.
